Morgan Stanley Capital Markets vs. Macquarie Investment Banking?
SA2021 offers. How different are pay, and exit opps? I've read a fair amount about Macquarie exit opps, but how about capital markets at MS? I'd probably try to get into ECM.
Also, is it better to do IBD summer analyst with MacCap and then try to recruit full time IBD at a different bank (if I dont want to stay with Macquarie) or capital markets within MS and try to switch to IBD at MS after internship?
Thank you!
Absolutely MS; much better brand.
BBs tend to have good internal mobility so getting to IB is something you can reasonably do. Pay for MS CM and MS IB should be similar at the analyst level, but you’ll need to go to IB if you want to exit.
Thanks for the insight!
No problem. Is this NY or London? I assumed the former
moving from MS GCM to MS IBD is not easy at all.. tons of people try to do it every year but only a few are allowed to, and that’s after spending 2 years in GCM. internship in GCM to FT in IBD is near impossible. would take a place like RBC IBD over MS GCM.
Not true, have personally seen several people intern in GCM and move to IBD for full-time (however, it may be harder now that the internships are actually separate and you would have to explain why you then applied to GCM and not IBD).
anyone else care to weigh in on internal mobility at MS from ECM to Coverage once youre in FT say after a year?
You’re the biggest idiot if you think that.
Macquarie already giving out offers? They haven't even opened up apps???
Diversity program
I'd probably go with the MS name, but why ECM? MS has LevFin under GCM.
yeah I would think if you make sure you’re in MS LevFin within GCM, you’ll be better off wholistically
Hi - could you speak to the culture of MS LevFin?
Culture tip here, are you a broey type? MSCM will be great fit if so. Not saying you won't fit in otherwise but you'll be quite happy if you're looking for a fratty group
Bro not rly true... personally coffee chatted half of the floor (referring to the ECM/DCM floor with their placards hanging in the air and employees diagnolly seated) of GCM ppl and those folks are humble/driven af. Honestly great culture cross the street
To me broey is a good thing. Doesn't mean you're not driven or humble... it's just a personality and vibe.
When he means broy he means among 1st year analysts lol
Forsure that's where it's concentrated given most 1st yrs tend to hang out with eachother, even when not at work given they've just moved to wherever the office is.
To me, it depends on what locations and groups. NY Macquarie is pretty strong and SF is growing. Besides that, the MIRA/infrastructure group is top notch and TMT second. if either of these id do Macquarie but if not then MS
Avoid Macquarie like the plague - their intern class this year received less than 50% return offers.
